My heart was sadden to hear of the passing of Mr. Young. He was someone I met years ago as a young man, but he left an impressive imprint on my life. For many years, I often thought of becoming a Barber. He was a very special individual and I know that all who knew him, knew the value of his friendship. Rest well Young!!! God takes only the best!!!
